"The accused abducted a 1-month-old girl from a casting audition," a Toronto police statement said. "With the assistance of the public, police located the child."

Gopaul allegedly snatched the baby Dec. 30 and fled with the infant in a taxi, cops said. The girl was found unharmed hours later when Gopaul met up with her ex-boyfriend.

"There is no evidence at this point that she did anything wrong," Gopaul's lawyer, Gary Batasar, told Canadian media.

A call to his office was not returned yesterday.

Gopaul misled her ex-boyfriend and his twin sisters that she was pregnant with his child, the Toronto Sun reported.

She apparently kept up the ruse for months - even posting an ultrasound photo on her Facebook account.

The newspaper reported that sources said Gopaul told them through a cousin that she had given birth to a 6-pound girl in the middle of last month.

Gopaul had agreed to turn the baby over to her ex-boyfriend, but the sisters became suspicious when she showed up Dec. 30 with a crying child who badly needed a diaper change, the Toronto Sun reported.

The sisters also noticed the car seat she was using wasn't the one they had purchased for her.
